ODBC Driver

The ODBC Driver view shows the ODBC drivers included in the MSI.

ODBC drivers allow applications to connect to databases through a standard interface and define the files and settings required for that connectivity.

Fields

Field	Description
Driver Name	Defines the driver name as it appears to applications.
Driver DLL	Specifies the main driver file that handles database communication.
Setup DLL	Specifies the optional DLL used for additional driver setup tasks.
Attributes	Adds settings or parameters specific to the driver.

Relation to ODBC Data Sources

ODBC data sources reference ODBC drivers to establish database connections. Without the correct driver installed, those data sources cannot function.

note

Make sure the required drivers are available on the target machine to avoid connection failures.
